specifying version 2.5 explicitly on the command line

The release plugin does not work if you have 
a) two projects at top-level of a git project that are released independently 
b) a mulit-module project with sub-modules released independently 
c) if the single project is stored in a sub-folder

The problem reported here is of type c)

I hit this bug when I want to release the findbugs plugin (b). It is a 
multi-module build: one module (a library) is changed only about once a year, 
the plugin itself is released several times a year. So I want to be able to 
release only the module that actually has been changed. That is not possible 
anymore, I need to spam our maven repo with a new unchanged library every time 
I release the plug-in.

All of these options are a bug in my opinion…
